While Farmer Wants a Wife continues to draw good numbers for Seven at 1.01m viewers last night in National TV Audience, it is also bringing a halo effect to their 37 year old drama, Home & Away.
Last night the Summer Bay soap pulled out 902,000, only pipped by A Current Affair at 1.05m and ABC News. Even better when you remember the show is produced internally by Seven.

Seven News was #1 at 1.54m and The Chase (737,000). SWAT was 166,000.
Nine News was 1.29m followed with a win by Tipping Point (743,000). Footy Classifed drew 130,000 with 100% Footy at 103,000.

I noted on this website before that H&A is the quiet achiever routinely achieving more than 1m for metro 7day numbers. And to your point David, not only is it internally produced saving money no doubt, don’t channel 5 in the UK pay half production costs?
I think Home and Away has never been so boring lately.
Who will have to leave the show if the romance fails?
I stopped watching over 30 years ago but it’s good to see that over 35 years on it still rates well
The real life romance involving an onscreen couple will also help lift ratings.
